1960s Redux at Pringle of Scotland

The Pringle of Scotland show began Monday with a modern reinterpretation of The Beatles’ “Across the Universe.” You could say Alistair Carr has started his career at the helm of this storied Scottish knitwear brand in the same way.

The Vibe: Urban, graphic ’60s redux

The Looks: Mr. Carr’s designs use the same archival references as former creative director Clare Waight Keller (now head of Chloé)—the knits, the argyle, the kilts—but to a totally different effect. While Ms. Waight Keller often looked back to the brand’s past, Mr. Carr clearly has his foot in the future. Perhaps testimony of years spent under the modern master Nicolas Ghesquière, at Balenciaga.

The Hues: Mostly black and white with pops of copper, turquoise and other bright colors in graphic prints that looked like reconstructed knits.
